[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2k-3k.  We don't travel to speak of.  Hate spending money on hotels and transportation. [/quote]

wow. people really live this way? [/quote]

Not everyone enjoys seeing their hard-earned 10k-20k evaporate over a 10 day period. [/quote]

I guess, but what DO you spend your money on? Can't take it with you.

FWIW we spend closed to 20K/yr on travel and still save aggressively for retirement and college.  Obviously we cut back in other ways, like on a kitchen remodel I'd love to, don't drive luxry cars, another way money "evaporates". [/quote]

DP but our kids are in early elementary and preschool aged so still have quite a bit of childcare costs.  Our mortgage is pretty modest for this area but consequently it's a 1940s house with old-house problems and it seems like there is always something that needs replacing/addressing (next year finally going to replace our crappy windows).  Our circa-2003 car finally died and we had to replace, cars are expensive right now! DH is a cancer survivor so his life insurance premiums are high plus he has a disability and umbrella policy- maybe we are over-insured but he is pretty cautious due to his medical history.  That's all probably a couple thousand per year that we could otherwise spend on things like travel.

We do have a lot of accumulated miles from when we both travelled more for work (have a miles credit card too but we just don't accumulate as much from actual travel anymore).  We are itching to go somewhere international but want to make sure it's "worth it"- I don't care so much about the kids remembering but I'd like my 3yo to move a bit past her threenager phase....

My guess is we still spent around $4k on travel last year but some of that was to visit our families.  Then a week shared house at the beach and a few driving weekend trips, including camping.[/quote]
